Stopping Pain: Percutaneous (Per·cu·ta·ne·ous) Hydrotomy: A Revolutionary Approach to Beating Chronic Pain and Increasing Function.
By Johnathan Edwards MD & Bernard Guez MD
“Stopping Pain” introduces a groundbreaking paradigm shift in treating injuries and chronic pain. It delves into pioneering medical treatments that have the potential to alter outcomes for individuals dealing with chronic pain. These innovative techniques harness the body’s healing capabilities to establish a connection between traditional standard-of-care treatments for musculoskeletal injuries. Importantly, the methods described in this book are minimally invasive and cost-effective, especially compared to surgical procedures.

“Stopping Pain” introduces the groundbreaking world of percutaneous hydrotomy, a revolutionary medical technique developed over 30 years ago in France. This regenerative approach employs physiologic saline, vitamins, minerals, and carefully selected medications to alleviate chronic pain and enhance overall function.
In this book, you will learn:
Percutaneous hydrotomy is an extension of the French medical technique mesotherapy applied to chronic pain.
Understand the principles and mechanisms that make it an effective solution for chronic pain.
Gain insights into how percutaneous hydrotomy offers a new ray of hope for patients grappling with chronic diseases, explore compelling narratives of individuals who, despite years of medication, found relief with this treatment.
Discover how amateur and professional athletes, including NFL players, MMA athletes, motocross racers, cyclists, and professional tennis players, have benefited from percutaneous hydrotomy to overcome pain and enhance performance.
The Problem with Pain
Pain is a universal human experience, a visceral and undeniable reality that strikes at the core of our existence. It’s an affliction that knows no bias, affecting people from all walks of life. While some individuals possess remarkable resilience to pain, there’s a simple truth: pain is as real as it gets. Regardless of how skeptical or stoic a person may be, pain is the common ground where belief is unanimous.
In our world today, pain casts a heavy burden, with almost half of the global population grappling with chronic illnesses — arthritis, frozen shoulder, back pain, neck pain, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, knee pain, hip pain, migraines, and TMJ. Back pain has been called “the evil of the century,” and inexplicably, modern medicine only partially responds to this disease. Low back and neck pain resulting from arthritis is the single greatest cause of disability and chronic pain, affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide.
Standard conservative treatments for musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain typically involve medications, physical therapy, activity modifications, bracing, steroid injections, and, if all else fails, surgery. Over half a million prosthetic knees are implanted annually in the United States. However, numerous patients aren’t suitable candidates for these highly invasive procedures.
Hundreds of thousands understand your emotional journey; you are not alone. Those living with chronic diseases or pain encounter distinctive challenges, including the perplexity and isolation that accompany being “differently-abled.” Chronic disease doesn’t happen by chance.
“Stopping Pain” aims to provide essential information about integrative general medicine and orthopedics to the millions of individuals and animals who suffer from chronic pain and other debilitating conditions. This book seeks to educate patients about various, often superior, alternatives to currently employed treatments and medications. The new paradigm presented in this book can potentially revolutionize the practice of orthopedics, pain, and sports medicine.
Regenerative medicine involves prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma injections (PRP), adult stem-cell injections, perineural superficial injections, and saline injections. This book is about another type of regenerative technique we call percutaneous hydrotomy.
Percutaneous hydrotomy stems from techniques utilizing mesotherapy, oligotherapy, tumescent anesthesia, hypodermoclysis, and regenerative medicine:
Mesotherapy originated in France and is derived from the Greek term “mesos,” which means micro-injections of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and other preparations into the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Mesotherapy only became possible with the invention of injectable needles.
Oligotherapy involves treating diseases with bioavailable forms of trace minerals. In the late 1800s, the discovery of trace minerals by chemists was used to treat many ailments of that time.
Tumescent anesthesia is the placement of large volumes of saline and dilute local anesthesia in the subcutaneous tissues. This technique facilitates pain management and local anesthesia during procedures.
Hypodermoclysis is a decades-old practice involving the subcutaneous infusion of fluids into the body. It is safe, straightforward, and effective for administering fluids and delivering medications.
Together, these techniques and principles from the basis of percutaneous hydrotomy aim to treat the causes of chronic pain and restore function to those suffering from it. It may come as a surprise, but simply injecting saline (water) into a painful area can offer relief. Historical records have indicated for a century that water has healing properties. A multitude of studies support the therapeutic use of saline. The book will provide detailed insights into how water can heal diseased cells.
Regenerative injection techniques serve as a crucial bridge between all conventional treatments, and they provide relief to individuals suffering from chronic conditions that previously had limited options for relief. The book raises questions about the limited adoption of these regenerative injection techniques and why the healthcare system doesn’t cover them. Stopping Pain aims to educate individuals on regenerative healing and how to navigate treatment options effectively. The foundation and philosophy of this book is that treating the root causes is fundamental in stopping chronic pain and regaining function.
The history of percutaneous hydrotomy is fascinating and rooted in advancements in European medicine during the Industrial Revolution. During that time, doctors were faced with treating diseases such as malnutrition, cholera, Kwashiorkor, malaria, and tuberculosis — most of which were incurable. Within this context, various medical techniques emerged, serving as the foundation for regenerative injection techniques like percutaneous hydrotomy.
